Features: The Kenco Low Flow Meter provides an accurate record of the amount of lubricating oil required to
maintain a constant oil level in the crankcase of an engine or compressor. The Kenco Low Flow Meter is a positive displacement double action, single piston meter. The piston strokes and actuates a mechanical counter that registers the amount of oil flowing through the meter. Each piston stroke equals and registers 0.01 gallon of flow.

Oil Level Controller
Features: KENCO Oil Level Controllers are designed to maintain the running oil level in the crankcase of stationary engines, compressors, and mechanical lubricator boxes. The KENCO oil controller works in conjunction with an overhead oil supply system which feeds the oil level controller. As the oil is consumed, the oil controller supplies the required amount of oil to maintain a proper level in the crankcase. The oil controller maintains the proper amount of oil in the crankcase using a float controlled valve. The valve opens and closes as oil is needed in the crankcase to provide a constant oil level.
Reduces maintenance by maintaining a constant lube level.

Switches - Flow
Features: The Kenco NO-FLOW SWITCH (“NFS”) is designed to protect the engine and compressor cylinder(s) against lubrication failure. The Kenco “NFS” mounts in line between the lubricator and cylinder. On start up, the first stroke of the lubricator automatically opens the “NFS” switch contact. The contact is opened and closed by the precision-fit plunger inside the “NFS” body. Lubricator oil flows through the body with the rate of flow controlled by the amount of oil that passes between the precision-fit plunger and the bore inside the body. If the lubricator stops pumping, the precision-fit plunger will drift back against the switch contact and stop the engine.
Switch Contact Electrical Rating: 2 amps, 30 VAC or VDC
Switch Contact Circuitry: Case-To-Ground
Flow Rates Required to Open Switch Contact:
• 6 drops per minute or more when using standard plunger spring
• Between 3 and 6 drops per minute when using optional light plunger spring “L” (See ordering note below)
Maximum Recommended Working Pressures:
• NFS-3, NFS-4, NFS-5, NFS-30: 2,000 psig
• NFS-6, NFS-11: 4,000 psig
• NFS-7, NFS-9, NFS-25: 1,750 psig (Consult factory for other available rupture pressure settings)
Switches - Level
Features: The Model KEFS uses a float to determine the presence or absence of liquid in a vessel at the process connection. The float arm assembly consists of a float at one end and a magnet at the other. As the liquid level in the vessel rises, the float rises, and the magnet falls. The magnet actuates a second magnet on the other side of the pressure boundary. This second magnet causes the switch to change state.
The pressure boundary contains no seals; it is a solid stainless steel barrier that passes a magnetic field, but no liquids. It is impossible for the process liquid to enter the switch enclosure through this barrier. The electrical contacts consist of a microswitch that can be either a Single-pole, Double-throw (SPDT) or Double-pole, Double-throw
(DPDT) Configuration. The SPDT Switch is available with either a 5 Amp or 8 Amp current load. The DPDT switch option is available with a 4 Amp Vac or 5 Amp Vdc
current load.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Maximum operating pressure of 2000 psig.
• Minimum operating specific gravity of 0.53.
• Operating temperature range of -67° F to 257° F; High temperature option -15˚F to 400˚F
• Available with 5A SPDT, 8A SPDT and 4A DPDT (*See switch specifications for full switch ratings).
• Printed circuit board mounted switches and terminal block means wiring electrical connections is easy. No wire splicing is required.
• All wetted parts including switch body are manufactured from 303 Stainless Steel. 316 Stainless Steel wetted parts option available.
• Magnetic Switch actuator operates through a solid steel barrier. There are no seals between the process and the switch compartment that could potentially cause a switch failure.
Features: The Model KPFS uses a float to determine the presence or absence of liquid in a vessel at the process connection. The float arm assembly consists of a float at one end and a magnet at the other. As the liquid level in the vessel rises, the float rises, and the magnet falls. The magnet actuates a second magnet on the other side of the pressure boundary. This second magnet is the reactive component in the snap-acting switch that opens and closes the pneumatic valve. Because of the nature of the design, adjustment is rarely, if ever needed. In the event that adjustment is needed, an easy-to-use adjustment screw is provided. The model KPFS is used to actuate pneumatic dump valves, such as the Kenco Model KDV series dump valve, to control liquids in separators, scrubbers, etc.
The pressure boundary contains no seals; it is a solid stainless steel barrier that passes a magnetic field, but no liquids. It is impossible for the process liquid to enter the switch enclosure through this barrier. The Model KPFS Pneumatic Float Switch can be ordered to have the pneumatic valve open when it senses a liquid level rising (-LR option) or open when it senses the liquid level falling (-LF option). A manual valve actuator is provided to open the valve manually if desired.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Maximum operating pressure of 2000 psi
• Minimum operating specific gravity of 0.53
• Pneumatic valve pressure range of 30 psi to 75 psi
• All wetted parts including the switch body are manufactured from 303/304 Stainless Steel. 316 Stainless Steel wetted parts option available.
• Magnetic Switch actuator operates through a solid stainless steel barrier. There are no seals between the process and the switch compartment that could potentially cause a switch failure.
Features: Kenco’s Thermal Differential Switches are designed for a wide range of flow and level applications. These switches can be used to detect either the overall liquid level or a liquid – liquid interface. They can also be used to detect a specific flow rate or a flow/no flow condition in liquids and gasses.
